This will go home December 1 to the first student and is due December 12. I believe that should be enough time. It's getting colder... Please send gloves and hats with your child everyday. We always go outside for recess unless its rainy. I believe my students need this time to run and play. Note from Mr. Dittmer I can't believe my first semester is almost over with.
